But I've always wanted to hit up a track to LEARN. But I've always been scared because I dont want to get flamed or dissed for being a complete noob. Are people at the track nice/willing to give advice to someone wanting to learn? I'm pretty self conscious about what other people think, but at the same time I want to grow and learn more about what its like to drift. I love spectating, but I actually want to be the one behind the wheel. So I was just wondering what it's like to hit up the track, and the experience drivers have with fellow drivers on the same track. I guess the main point im trying to ask is:
What's the best way to learn this sport. I know you guys are giving advice and techniques, but is it best to just start out at a track and have other drivers help?
Sorry if you think i'm thread jacking, but I didnt want to strat a new thread. Im trying to keep it to the topic of techniques and learning, but everyone mentions the track and I was just interested what track experience is like.
thanks

the whole point of going to the track is to learn...dont be skerd...
hell im only 2 events in...and im still a noob, cant even initiate consistantly or donut (yeah im the noob castro was pointing out, thanks babe) and know jack shit...
my first event was horrid...second event not as bad...next couple of events i should be ok...it fucking takes time...
im just limited...my tree trunk of my leg covers my ebrake, so i cant use it...might just invest in a hydro...lol, but like Castro would say, dont be a tard, practice the basics (I.E. donuts figure 8's) and then worry about fine tuning little shit after...
